Likelihood to Recommend Once I had to search the logs to find cases and data on a particular keyword, but I was not able to do so as there was no search tool available, nor was there a sort or filter tool. I was totally frustrated as I had to skim through the data to complete my task manually.
Read full review If your budget is really tight, then JitBit is not for you. It's kind of pricey. That said, JitBit HelpDesk is very robust--we've never had one second of downtime in my two years of using it. It depends on what's important to you. If you need rock-solid Help Desk and stellar, trouble-free performance, then JitBit it. If not, there are alternatives that are much less expensive. The cloud version might be less expensive for companies that don't need an on-premise solution.
Read full review Pros Desk.com automatically tracks analytics on all cases coming in and going out. Desk.com helps prevent multiple people from working on the same case. However, it does allow us to assign the case to someone else if we feel that person is more qualified to address the case. Desk.com has very few bugs or server issues that we've seen. This helps prevent any delays in communicating with our customers. Read full review Fantastic ticketing system to keep track of old conversations from clients. Fantastic analytics and metric tracking. Fantastic for sharing relationships with a customer. Generally, this would be a salesperson sharing an onboarding with a support person, but I think you could get creative with it. JitBit is very flexible. Super easy to learn and use. If you can use your email, you can use JitBit. Read full review Cons Internal knowledge tools are clunky and annoying to access, outside the regular workflow of everyday staff Arbitrary and confusing limitations in business rules and custom fields Arbitrary and confusing limitations in case handling - for example, if you begin a case as a phone call you CANNOT email the customer from the case. As though no one working at Desk has ever sent a follow-up email...? Not very good for B2B, mid-to-large businesses. Difficult to set business rules based on company information (for example, service level/tier) and nearly impossible to track key stakeholders and get clear insight into the relationship at a high level Reporting tools are clunky, slow, and just all-around pretty useless Read full review Reporting functionalities could be better Improvements to user management Expansion to AI functionalities Read full review Likelihood to Renew We will be very likely to renew our contract with Desk.com. It is easy to use, and provides us with everything we need to keep our customers and employees happy. They have also been very helpful in catering the application to our specific and unique needs, including working across brands and adding specific content for our products
Read full review Usability Desk.com and
Salesforce Service Cloud's usability is seamless to get up and running, administer, and scale across the organization. It allows us to get up and running in days rather than weeks and has transformed our customer support teams globally into efficient, world-class teams. The best practices that the
Salesforce and Desk.com teams provide are also very valuable, as we have the right case studies and tips to implement right away in our organization.

Read full review Support Rating Their support leaves much to be desired. They do not respond quickly and do not follow up with feature requests. There is also a lack of on-demand or live training available for the teams to use as they learn a new tool. Because there is so much customization, a lot of questions do come up regularly.
Read full review Implementation Rating As I stated earlier, implementation of Desk.com went more smoothly than most. The resources in the "Support Center" are fantastic, and I never ran into anything that left me stumped, angry, or disappointed.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Overall, it performs a lot better than all three combined, with a lot fewer glitches and a lot more user-friendly and user experience efficiency. Any new link that needs to be done, takes a lot less time to execute on desk compared to the three others. Simply advanced when it comes to execution this platform is.
Read full review JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.
Read full review Return on Investment Better customer service and employee efficiency when dealing with cases It's so universal, meaning that everyone can use it and it's easy to understand. The only negative impact is that our IT department who is assigned tickets has responded to customers instead of to the local reps and we have to ensure they know to change the email if it's assigned to them. Read full review JitBit has neither had a positive nor a negative effect on our ROI. The reason is that we had to have a Help Desk solution that is secure and well-supported. JitBit does cost real money. The least expensive on-premise option is $1,699, which might have a negative impact on your budget, but I'd have to say that it's worth it--at least for us. Trouble-free, practically maintenance-free, Help Desk software has a positive impact on our technician time spent on it. Read full review ScreenShots Desk.com (discontinued) Screenshots
